I'm super excited to share This Filipino American Life with you all! This Filipino American Life is a podcast that explores the nuanced experiences of Filipinos in the United States, atbp. This is a new podcast with a trio of co-hosts that include myself, valley twin Joe Bernardo, and long time homie Ryan Carpio where we plan to talk about a wide range of topics from food to basketball to arts & culture to our first episode topic: FILIPINO PARENTS!

Here is our first podcast episode about Filipino parents. Elaine, Joe, and Ryan first introduce themselves and then discuss what it’s like growing up with Filipino parents. We then interview our guests, Glenda Gamboa and Joel Quizon, and ask what it’s like to raise their son, Kamayo. Take a listen and hilarity will ensue. Lesson from the episode, “Abstinence!” =)

In a week you will be able to color Star Wars themed sheets, drink awesome drinks, & eat yummy food. ‪#‎coloryourtroublesaway‬ MAY the force be with you edition. Thurs, May 12, 7-9pm. POT Lobby Bar, Koreatown.
